Great article on the improving potential for a grocery co-op in Fifeville. I wanted to donate to help their chances a tiny bit so I found their site: secure.actblue.com/donate/cvill.... Crossing my fingers this actually happens!

Fifeville moves one big step closer to having a community-owned grocery store, and it wants the city's help
Plans are moving ahead for a mixed-use development in Fifeville that will include a grocery co-op and low-cost housing, but residents need city funding to get the project to the finish line.

I remember Gilmore raging to a colleague 2010 alumni weekend that anyone who had participated in the ‘70 student strike (in response to Kent State killings) should’ve been expelled and degrees denied because *he* wasn’t able to take his finals. Glad he knows right from wrong.🙄

It’s already too late. Can’t say I’m sorry I retired before having to deal with this. ☠️
Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

From the newsletter. Needs to be repeated frequently on blast:
“You might not know it from the dehumanizing and stigmatizing ways homelessness is frequently talked about in the media and online, but the people in our community most harmed by homelessness are people experiencing homelessness.”

Good brief explanation if (like me) you had lost the thread of what the Police Civilian Oversight Board (PCOB) is supposed to do as constituted and some of the issues it faces.

The General Assembly needs to take this opportunity to put teeth in the FOIA laws, including doing away with fees (or at least standardizing and reducing them drastically.)
I’m assuming Jay Jones taking over as AG will significantly shift the release of records surrounding these events. And I’m curious to see if the release of other reports follows.
Virginia lawmakers and University of Virginia faculty are raising alarm bells about ongoing patterns of secrecy and lack of transparency surrounding former UVA President Jim Ryan's resignation in June.

This leaves in place a preliminary injunction barring the Youngkin appointees from serving
The Virginia Supreme Court did not reach merits of the matter
The Court tends to be restrained in such a situation and wait for a final resolution before further ruling
